[galaxy-user] Installing Galaxy on SGE Cluster - Questions

Hi guys,

I'm following the instructions here to install Galaxy on our SGE cluster. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster (I'm aiming for the unified install)

Here are a couple of questions I'm hoping someone could clear up for me:

How exactly do I use virtual env to make Galaxy install all the Python libraries there instead of on the system? How will Galaxy know to use the virtualenv to run and to use it for grid jobs?

Do I need to install all of the dependencies listed on this page: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Dependencies If so what's a good way to make sure they're contained in the galaxy-dist directory and make sure Galaxy and all of the jobs know to find these tools there?

Thanks,

Greg
